The Croatia-Mexico match should be a good one, and it will probably decide who makes it out of that group. I like Croatia to win it, but Mexico almost automatically makes it out of groups.

I know, I just don't give them much of a chance there. And Croatia should be able to beat Cameroon. I think they'll both have 3 points going into their match against each other.

True. Mexico is 0-3 against Brazil in World Cup play.

Good grief. I hate the Dutch, but you have to love that.

He is one of the best one touch finishers in the game right now. He's done it with his head and feet volleying a cross so often
-
And here we go....the rain is falling now in Salvador, Brazil. Pretty heavy rain and I wouldn't doubt that it continues throughout the match. Another test of the pitch.

I understand why Spain is being forced to wear white (must have a light and dark color, they have a dark red and a black), but I'm not sure why holland isn't being allowed to wear their orange. Plus, I really like their orange!!

Last time they played Spain, they lost wearing the Orange. Superstitions are strong everywhere.
Note of Van Persie header: Officially 17 yards and now holds the record as the furthest header goal in the World Cup since 1970 (earliest time of reliable recorded distance)

I have no idea whether they were forced to or just made the decision, but I think the orange is designated as their 'light' jersey. So I don't know that they weren't allowed so much as they were just designated dark so they wore their dark jersey.
